Obama Tells Economically-Deficient Voters That "Freedoms" Is the Big Issue of the 2022 Midterms

  Movement slayer Barack Obama shows that he really was a moderate Republican posing as a progressive Democrat in his latest attempt to save his decaying party : Obama implored the crowd at his first stop in Michigan: “Who will fight for your freedom? Is it a bunch of Republican politicians and judges who think they should get to decide when you start a family or how many children you have, who you marry or who you love?” He then added, “Or is it leaders like (Michigan Democratic Gov.) Gretchen Whitmer who believe that the freedom to make these personal decisions belong to every American, not politicians in Washington?” What the former president didn't say there is that his party has refused to fight for anything of substance up to this point. In stark contrast to Republicans, who fight to vote on issues despite knowing they may loose because it's an incentive to GOTV, Democrats have given voters next-to-nothing to support.  And even when Obama acknowledges the economics, it...

The Democrats Have Nothing to Offer The American Working Class (and Neither Do the Republicans)

  The terrible thing about modern American politics is that it will take one phase under Democratic Party rule and one under Republican rule to realize that they have long since abandoned the idea of helping people who live paycheck-to-paycheck (never mind the poor). Case in Point: I learned my lesson because of Clinton and GW Bush (and then the first two years of Obama was a stark reminder). I'm sure for others it took both terms of Bush II and Obama, and still others it was Obama and then Trump. Now those who have only been involved/paying attention since Trump (his fake outsider image attracted some disenfranchised voters) realize that Biden is not only continuing some of Trump's policies (building the wall on the Mexican border, keeping kids in cages, staying out of the nuclear agreement with Iran), he's making things worse -particularly with the economy- for the sake "owning the Russians."  So when Briahna Joy Gray makes a video (that Sabby is reviewing) talk...

Democrats Pull the "Obama Alarm"

 When Democrats are in trouble being exposed for not doing anything substantive for the American people losing elections, they call on former President Obama to make voters feel good enough to ignore their bad socio-economic situation remind them what's at stake.

 The media will play up Rishi Sunak's youth (currently 42) and demographics (parents came to the UK from East Africa in the 1960s/ is of Indian descent/is Hindu), his business dealings and his spouse's connections are definitely worth noting . 

The Irony of Tim Burton

 The director of some very memorable movies talked about working with/for Disney in the future : The filmmaker attended the Lumiere Festival in France over the weekend, where he received the honorary Prix Lumière award. He spoke at a press conference on Saturday where he likened working for the company to the character Dumbo being trapped in “this horrible big circus.” “It’s gotten to be very homogenized, very consolidated. There’s less room for different types of things,” Burton said, according to Deadline. Burton noted that Disney is now largely focused on its tentpole franchises mainly within the Star Wars and Marvel cinematic universes and of his potential involvement in the MCU in the future, he said chances were slim. While it's true that Disney has been playing it close to the vest (when like 33% of your revenue takes a hit because of a global pandemic, you start acting a little gun-shy) this is so ironic considering the number of pale protagonists Burton has highligh...
